| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian inscription in bold Nasta'liq calligraphy reading the royal titulature of Mozaffar al-Din Shah Qajar, including the denomination 'Dah Toman' (Ten Tomans) and two dates (AH 1311 and the erroneous AH 1381). The inscription is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a decorative border of alternating six-pointed star rosettes and small pellets forming a continuous wreath of sixteen foliate elements around the periphery. The mint name Tehran (طهران) appears at the top of the border, outside the inner circle. |

| Reverse description | The imperial Shir-o-Khorshid (Lion and Sun) emblem of Qajar Iran dominates the central field: a lion passant left, resting on a low platform, brandishing an upright sword in its right forepaw, with a radiant solar disc rising behind its back emitting long straight rays. The central device is framed by an elaborate wreath composed of olive branches on the left and oak branches on the right, tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow, with additional foliate sprigs at the top. A beaded border runs along the entire circumference. The design is executed in high relief with fine detail throughout. |
